Wash U Journal

My name is Jack, and I am an editor at the Washington University Undergraduate Law Review (WUULR).

We hope you’ll share this opportunity with your student organization and its members.

Undergraduate students at any university are eligible to submit a proposal here before the October 3rd national deadline.


We want to give students the opportunity to make contributions to the field of legal writing and to be published. We are looking to publish submissions covering an array of law-related topics and perspectives, both domestically and internationally. Submissions could be analyses of ongoing legal issues, proposals/solutions to legal challenges, or predicting upcoming legal topics. Please note that our journal is NOT restricted to social science or humanities students: we solely require that submissions have a clear legal bent.
